Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

"Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th."

Omg just got an email that 2 of the 3 paintings that I submitted to The Art of Planetary Science show won awards! I won 2nd place in fine art and 3rd place for the themed category (Mars). Haven’t won an award for my art since I was a kid in 4-H 🥹

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.

Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.

Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

Donald Trump is still a threat to our democracy today, no matter what some in the media may say.
